Curare86 · 08-30-2013, 09:19 PM

I can't decide! keen for your thoughts:wheel 1 or 2?

i think the first one would look better with the standard centre piece rather than alcantara; and the bmw logo obviously. think it looks awesome in anoooohs car

Yeah I think they're a little too "busy" but if I had to choose it would be the first one with the Alcantara.

I like the second one. It has a simpler design. I think Alcantara would probably get scuffed either from a watch strap or just from normal driving wear. Really I would keep the stock wheel or otherwise get the M3 one.

First wheel gets my vote. But after seeing the Electronic Performance V2 wheel, that's what I'll be getting.

I've got a performace one if your interested simon

2nd one looks best to me.
I've got the V1 electronic BMW "performance" wheel and most of the time I only use the readout to check water & oil temp. If I bought again I'd get the non electronic V2 BMWP wheel. By the way, after five years the alcantara on my wheel still cleans up nicely with a damp cloth.

Curare86 · 09-07-2013, 01:45 PM

Found a third option and the one im going with! Fully customisable with regards to materials, stitching etc. Great looking products e.g. this m6 example. Cant wait to see how it turns out!

thewafflecaust · 09-07-2013, 06:57 PM

That last option looks nice and chunky!

I'd go with alcantara all round, but that's me.

Where are you sourcing it?

Is from dct motorsports in the states. Dctms.com
lead times up to a month but I'll post more pics as soon as it's done!

I definitely like the 3rd option best. It's a nice touch with some CF on top and flat bottom. Look good.
